SITE PREFERENCE OF Gd IN SYNTHETIC FLUORAPATITE BY SINGLE-CRYSTAL W-BAND EPR AND X-RAY REFINEMENT OF THE STRUCTURE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Abstract: Fluorapatite containing 1.2(2) wt% Gd 2 O 3 (sample AP30-1), synthesized from a CaF 2 -rich melt in a Pt crucible, has been investigated by single-crystal W-band (~94 GHz) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and X-ray structure refinement. The EPR spectrum of AP30-1 measured at ~287 K, with Zeeman field B // z' and microwave field B // x', gave a Gd site-occupancy ratio ( Ca2 Gd/ Ca1 Gd) of 1.4(4), indicating a weak preference between the two types of Ca sites. Similarly, X-ray refinement of the… Show more

“…In all cases, the obtained values are larger as compared with those given for the stoichiometric fluorapatite by all the previous authors, e.g., a = 9.363(2) Å and c = 6.878(2) Å [39]; a = 9.367(1) Å and c = 6.884(1) Å [40]; a = 9.338(3) Å and c = 6.878(2) Å [6]; a = 9.371(2) Å and c = 6.885(2) Å [41]; a = 9.372(4) Å and c = 6.883(5) Å [42], but compare better with those given by some other authors for natural fluorapatite from skarns {e.g., a = 9.410(2) Å and c = 6.890(5) Å as given by [7], or hydrothermal fluorapatite from skarn-like veins {e.g., a = 9.392(6) Å and c = 6.888(4) Å as given by [43]}. Taking into account the chemical composition depicted below, it seems normal to imagine that the cationic substitutions in Ca sites, and particularly the REE presence, influenced the cell parameters (e.g., [44]).…”
